class=\"wp-block-heading\">How To Store Your Left Over Instant Pot Taco Pasta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Any leftover taco pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reheat, you can either heat it up on the stovetop on a medium heat till warm throughout or in the microwave. In both instances, it\u2019s a good idea to add a splash of water or stock to the leftover pasta mix to help break up the sauce which would have thickened during storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I Freeze This Tex-Mex dish?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you can! Most pasta dishes freeze well for up to 3 months and this Instant Pot Taco Pasta is no exception!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your taco pasta has completely cooled, transfer it to an airtight container for storage in your freezer. If you are planning on making this meal ahead of time, consider freezing your taco pasta in individual portions. That way, you only need to defrost the exact amount at any given time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Make sure that you thaw your frozen pasta in the fridge overnight before reheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"taco pasta salad made in the instant pot in white bowls with salt and pepper shakers\" class=\"wp-image-18669\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Variations Can I make with this Taco Pasta Instant Pot Recipe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m glad you asked! The great thing about most pasta recipes is the versatility when it comes to changing up ingredients for this taco pasta instant pot recipe. Here are some ideas that you can try if you\u2019d like to adapt this taco pasta recipe:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you don\u2019t have heavy cream on hand or don\u2019t enjoy cooking with it, use sour cream or plain yogurt instead. Just make sure that you stick to full fat options regardless of what you choose &#8211; it helps to create that irresistible pasta sauce and adds to the rich flavor of the meal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This Instant Pot Taco Pasta can also be made with ground chicken, pork, or turkey if you don\u2019t enjoy beef. You may want to use chicken stock or even vegetable stock if you choose ground meat other than beef.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For an extra kick of heat in this taco pasta, use a hot salsa instead of the mild, add in some hot sauce or some cayenne pepper. Personally, I love adding in a few dashes of Cholula brand Hot sauce for a layer of added heat. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For a vegetarian version of this dish, use drained & rinsed black beans, crumbled tofu, or Beyond Beef Ground &#8220;beef&#8221;.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Instead of using cheddar cheese, consider using a blended cheese, Cotija cheese (a parmesan-like Mexican cheese) or Queso Fresco (a soft and crumbly Mexican cheese). Those cheeses do not &#8220;melt&#8221; like fresh grated cheddar cheese, but it will add different layers of flavor. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-4.jpg\" alt=\"instant pot taco pasta in a white bowl and wooden spoon\" class=\"wp-image-18672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-4.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-4-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-4-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-4-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-4-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/foodnservice.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/Instant-Pot-Taco-Pasta-4-735x490.jpg 735w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tips For Making My Easy Instant Pot Taco Pasta:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>First and foremost, use freshly grated cheese. Bagged cheese has an anti-caking coating on it (potato starch), and will make the pasta look grainy. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If it\u2019s proving tricky to remove anything stuck at the bottom of the pot, simply deglaze with either a little bit of water or some of the stock. This should prevent the BURN message from appearing. If you're using ground turkey or chicken, be sure to deglaze the pan! Ground turkey and chicken have less fat, so it's natural juices will not help in the deglazing the bottom of your liner. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The pasta must be covered in liquid before you set your Instant Pot to cook. Push your pasta down with a spatula, keeping the ground beef at the bottom so that the pasta doesn\u2019t stick to the bottom of the pot while cooking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>This timing will create a slight al dente pasta &#8211; pasta is easy to overcook as pasta continues to cook while being served. If you want a softer pasta then you\u2019ll need to pressure cook for 5 minutes instead as I did for my&nbsp;Instant Pot chicken mac and cheese.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>At first glance, it might look like extra liquid, but it's not. Trust me, once you\u2019ve added the cheese and cream it\u2019ll thicken up to the ideal consistency. The liquid sauce also thickens naturally as it cools.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here's how it looks step by step.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
